Nobel is spelled correctly, its named after an individual. I think the people more interested in English than the Politics has taken away from this article. People should learn what the prize stands for. Anyway, I can’t seem why Obama deserves it at all, although one could argue he got rid of Bush!

I agree, too many typos! Should have read through it once before publishing. I am one of the ones who dismissed this article based on the carelessness.

Tom, you’re a birther. Enough said.

Lol at Tom, why do you write as though Obama might actually be reading your comment on this website?

Whether he should have won the prize over Tsvangirai, for example, is highly debatable. Whether he is in fact a US citizen and President of the US is not, you are a fool.

Congratulations Mr. obama on being given the Nobel piece-of-$#!+ prize. Notice I did not call you President… because you’re not… not until you show your long form birth certificate. Notice I didn’t say you won or earned the prize… because you didn’t. It was given to you over people who actually did something and deserved it. What’s next for you? The Heisman?

Seriously, Camilla, this piece is fine in terms of what it says, but it needs a thorough read-through for typos, because they’re distracting and some people may dismiss writing that looks a bit careless no matter how valid the views it’s expressing.

Examples:

Noble – Nobel (throughout)
award.The – space missing
in their hated – in their hatred
rhetoric.The – space missing
politics.It – space missing
to futher – to further
Obama’s win “bold statement – Obama’s win a “bold statement
a affirmation – an affirmation
accomplished?It – space missing
endorcement – endorsement

Sorry, some of us do this for a living, so maybe we’re more sensitive to it than others. If this comes across as patronizing, it’s not meant to be.

Your piece got linked from the US site Memeorandum – http://www.memeorandum.com/091014/p133#a091014p133 – so that’s some recognition for you. (I’m British, BTW.)

Anonymous Massive! gives a Massive! shout out to Aurora’s wise words. On that note, Anonymous Massive! is also Massively! amused by the following sentance, and what it reveals about the author’s/proof-reader’s spelling skillz:

“The Noble Peace Prize was created by Alfred Nobel”

True dat, York brothers and sisters, true dat!

“Nobel” is misspelled all through your article.
